Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel amorphous alloys resistant against hot corrosion in sulfidizing and oxidising atmospheres, which can be used in industrial plants such as chemical plants as well as in various fields of human life.
- amorphous alloys having high corrosion resistance in hot concentrated acids. These alloys are classified into two groups, that is, amorphous metal-metalloid alloys and metal-metal alloys.
- Amorphous metal-metalloid alloys are composed of iron group elements such as Fe, Co and Ni and 10-25 atomic percent of metalloid elements such as P, C, Si and B. Their high corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions is obtained by the addition of chromium.
- amorphous metal-metal alloys are formed by alloying of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and/or Al with IVa and Va group elements such as Ta, Nb, Zr and Ti. Their corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions is due to the presence of valve metals.
- Some of the present inventors and coinventors in preparing a number of novel amorphous alloys found that alloys in which the melting point of one of alloy constituents far exceeds the boiling point of another alloy constituent can be prepared by utilizing sputter-deposition method, since sputtering does not require melting for alloy formation. Some of the present inventors and coinventors thus succeeded to prepare amorphous Cu- and Al-base alloys with IVa, Va and VIa group elements such as Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, Mo and W, and applied these alloys for Japanese Patent Application Nos. 103296/87, 515567/88, 51568/88 and 260020/88.
- Aluminum forms the most stable and protective oxide scale in oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures, and chromium is the second best element for oxidation resistance among conventional elements. Accordingly, the alloys containing these elements have been used in highly oxidizing gas atmospheres at high temperatures. However, aluminum and chromium sulfides are not highly protective, and aluminum sulfide decomposes when it is exposed to a humid atmosphere.
- elements which can form stable sulfide scales in highly sulfidizing atmospheres at high temperatures are Mo, W, Nb and Ta.
- Mo, W, Nb and Ta are elements which can form stable sulfide scales in highly sulfidizing atmospheres at high temperatures.
- these elements are exposed to oxidising atmospheres, sublimation of oxides for Mo and W, and breakaway of oxide for Nb and Ta readily occur.
- the objective of the invention is achieved by amorphous Al and/or Cr alloys with Ta, Nb, Mo and/or W as essential components.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show apparatuses for preparing an alloy of the present invention.
- the present invention aims to provide novel amorphous alloys resistant against hot corrosion in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres.
- an alloy has a crystalline structure in the solid state.
- an alloy having a specific composition becomes amorphous by prevention of the formation of long-range order structure during solidification through, for example, rapid solidification from the liquid state, sputter deposition or plating under the specific conditions.
- the amorphous alloy thus formed is a homogeneous single phase supersaturated solid solution containing sufficient amounts of various alloying elements beneficial in providing specific characteristics, such as high resistance against hot corrosion.
- amorphous alloys consisting of metals having high melting points and metals having low boiling points can be prepared by sputter deposition method which does not require mixing of metallic elements by melting.
- the alloys of the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this finding.
- the present inventors and coworkers found that the alloys of the present invention possess extremely high resistance against hot corrosion due to formation of protective scales in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres.
- Table 1 shows the components and compositions of the alloys set forth in the Claim.
- the amorphous alloys produced by sputter deposition are single phase alloys in which the alloying elements exist in a state of a uniform solid solution. Accordingly, they form an extremely uniform and highly corrosion-resistant protective scales in hot corrosion atmospheres at high temperatures.
- the amorphous alloys of this invention are of a homogeneous solid solution. Therefore, they homogeneously contain effective elements as much as required to form uniformly a stable and protective scale depending upon the compositions of gas atmospheres. Owing to the formation of this uniform scale, the amorphous alloys of this invention exhibit a sufficiently high hot corrosion resistance.
- alloys to withstand hot corrosion atmospheres should form a uniform, stable and protective scale in such environments.
- Alloys of amorphous structure permit many alloying elements to exist in a form of single phase solid solution, and also permit the formation of a uniform scale.
- Al and Cr form protective oxide scales in an oxidizing atmosphere and hence the alloys in the present invention must contain at least 25 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Al and Cr unless Si is added.
- Si enhances the protective quality of the oxide scales, and hence when Si is added the formation of the protective oxide scale requires at least 10 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Al and Cr.
- Sulfidation resistance is provided by alloying with Mo, W, Nb and Ta and accordingly the alloys in the present invention must contain at least one element selected from the group of Mo, W, Nb and Ta.
- Mo, W, Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr and Cr are able to form the amorphous structure when they coexist with Al.
- Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr and Al can form the amorphous alloys with Cr.
- the Al alloys are required to consist of 7-50 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Cr, Mo and W, and similarly the Al alloys are required to consist of 7- 75 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb.
- the alloys consist of Al, at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb and at least one element selected from the group of Mo and W, the content of at least one element selected from the group of Cr, Mo and W is not allowed to exceed 50 atomic percent, and the sum of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb and at least one element selected from group of Cr, Mo and W is required to be 7-75 atomic percent for the formation of the amorphous structure by sputtering.
- a portion of Cr, Mo, W, Nb and Ta in the Al-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Ti and Zr for amorphous alloy formation, but at least 7 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Mo, W, Nb and Ta should be contained for the formation of the protective scale in sulfidizing atmospheres.
- the alloys consisting of Cr and at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb are required to consist of 25-70 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb.
- a portion of Nb and Ta in the Cr-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Ti and Zr for amorphous alloy formation, but at least 25 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Nb and Ta should be contained for the formation of the protective scale in sulfidizing atmospheres.
- a portion of Cr in Cr-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Mo and W for the formation of the amorphous structure, and the addition of Mo and/or W improves the sulfidation resistance.
- Cr is necessary for oxidation resistance and hence when Cr is substituted with at least one element selected from the group of Mo and W, at least 30 atomic percent of Cr must be contained unless Al is added.
- Fe, Co, Ni and Cu can be substituted for refractory metals.
- excess additions of these elements decreases sulfidation resistance and hence at least one element selected from this group must be at most 20 atomic percent.
- Preparation of the alloys of the present invention is carried out by sputter deposition method.
- Sputtering is performed by using a sintered or alloyed crystalline target of multiple phases whose average composition is the same as the amorphous alloy to be prepared.
- Sputtering is also performed by using a target consisting of a metal sheet of one of constituents in the amorphous alloy to be prepared and other metal constituents placed on the metal sheet.
- alloy targets of aluminum and/or chromium with refractory metals it is difficult to form alloy targets of aluminum and/or chromium with refractory metals, and hence targets consisting of an Al or Cr disc on which various alloying elements are placed are used.
- the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 can be used.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to novel amorphous alloys resistant against hot corrosion in sulfidizing and oxidising atmospheres, which can be used in industrial plants such as chemical plants as well as in various fields of human life.
- Some of the present inventors have so far found various amorphous alloys having high corrosion resistance in hot concentrated acids. These alloys are classified into two groups, that is, amorphous metal-metalloid alloys and metal-metal alloys. Amorphous metal-metalloid alloys are composed of iron group elements such as Fe, Co and Ni and 10-25 atomic percent of metalloid elements such as P, C, Si and B. Their high corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions is obtained by the addition of chromium. By contrast, amorphous metal-metal alloys are formed by alloying of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and/or Al with IVa and Va group elements such as Ta, Nb, Zr and Ti. Their corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions is due to the presence of valve metals.
- Some of the present inventors and coinventors in preparing a number of novel amorphous alloys found that alloys in which the melting point of one of alloy constituents far exceeds the boiling point of another alloy constituent can be prepared by utilizing sputter-deposition method, since sputtering does not require melting for alloy formation. Some of the present inventors and coinventors thus succeeded to prepare amorphous Cu- and Al-base alloys with IVa, Va and VIa group elements such as Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta, Mo and W, and applied these alloys for Japanese Patent Application Nos. 103296/87, 515567/88, 51568/88 and 260020/88. Some of the present inventors and coinventors further continued to study the preparation of various amorphous alloys and succeeded to prepare amorphous Cr-base alloys with Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta and Al. They applied these alloys for Japanese Patent Application Nos. 138575/91, 267542/91, 29362/92 and 29365/92.
- Aluminum forms the most stable and protective oxide scale in oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures, and chromium is the second best element for oxidation resistance among conventional elements. Accordingly, the alloys containing these elements have been used in highly oxidizing gas atmospheres at high temperatures. However, aluminum and chromium sulfides are not highly protective, and aluminum sulfide decomposes when it is exposed to a humid atmosphere.
- On the other hand, elements which can form stable sulfide scales in highly sulfidizing atmospheres at high temperatures are Mo, W, Nb and Ta. However, when these elements are exposed to oxidising atmospheres, sublimation of oxides for Mo and W, and breakaway of oxide for Nb and Ta readily occur.
- In practical hot corrosion atmospheres, partial pressures of sulfur vapor and oxygen change drastically. Nevertheless, there were no metallic materials which have sufficiently high resistance against hot corrosion in both sulfidizing and oxidising atmospheres at high temperatures.
- Consequently, there has been a strong demand for further new metallic materials having high resistance against hot corrosion which can be used in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures.
- It is an objective of the present invention to provide amorphous alloys resistant against hot corrosion in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures by utilizing the characteristic of amorphous alloys forming a single phase solid solution containing alloying elements exceeding the solubility limits at equilibrium and by utilizing the advantage of sputtering which does not require melting for the formation of the alloy.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 show apparatuses for preparing an alloy of the present invention.
- The present invention aims to provide novel amorphous alloys resistant against hot corrosion in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres.
- It is generally known that an alloy has a crystalline structure in the solid state. However, an alloy having a specific composition becomes amorphous by prevention of the formation of long-range order structure during solidification through, for example, rapid solidification from the liquid state, sputter deposition or plating under the specific conditions. The amorphous alloy thus formed is a homogeneous single phase supersaturated solid solution containing sufficient amounts of various alloying elements beneficial in providing specific characteristics, such as high resistance against hot corrosion.
- The present inventors and coworkers carried out a series of investigations paying their attention to the outstanding properties of amorphous alloys. They found that amorphous alloys consisting of metals having high melting points and metals having low boiling points can be prepared by sputter deposition method which does not require mixing of metallic elements by melting. The alloys of the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this finding.
- Furthermore, the present inventors and coworkers found that the alloys of the present invention possess extremely high resistance against hot corrosion due to formation of protective scales in both sulfidizing and oxidizing atmospheres.
-
- The amorphous alloys produced by sputter deposition are single phase alloys in which the alloying elements exist in a state of a uniform solid solution. Accordingly, they form an extremely uniform and highly corrosion-resistant protective scales in hot corrosion atmospheres at high temperatures.
- However, it is not desirable to add various alloying elements in large quantities to a crystalline metal, because the resulting alloy is of a multiple phase mixture, with each phase having different chemical properties, and is not so satisfactory in hot corrosion resistance as intended. Moreover, the chemical heterogeneity is rather harmful to hot corrosion resistance.
- By contrast, the amorphous alloys of this invention are of a homogeneous solid solution. Therefore, they homogeneously contain effective elements as much as required to form uniformly a stable and protective scale depending upon the compositions of gas atmospheres. Owing to the formation of this uniform scale, the amorphous alloys of this invention exhibit a sufficiently high hot corrosion resistance.
- In other words, metallic materials to withstand hot corrosion atmospheres should form a uniform, stable and protective scale in such environments. Alloys of amorphous structure permit many alloying elements to exist in a form of single phase solid solution, and also permit the formation of a uniform scale.
- The components and compositions of the alloys of this invention are specified as above for the following reasons:
Al and Cr form protective oxide scales in an oxidizing atmosphere and hence the alloys in the present invention must contain at least 25 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Al and Cr unless Si is added. Si enhances the protective quality of the oxide scales, and hence when Si is added the formation of the protective oxide scale requires at least 10 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Al and Cr. Sulfidation resistance is provided by alloying with Mo, W, Nb and Ta and accordingly the alloys in the present invention must contain at least one element selected from the group of Mo, W, Nb and Ta. - Mo, W, Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr and Cr are able to form the amorphous structure when they coexist with Al. Similarly, Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr and Al can form the amorphous alloys with Cr. For the formation of the amorphous structure by sputtering, the Al alloys are required to consist of 7-50 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Cr, Mo and W, and similarly the Al alloys are required to consist of 7- 75 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb. When the alloys consist of Al, at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb and at least one element selected from the group of Mo and W, the content of at least one element selected from the group of Cr, Mo and W is not allowed to exceed 50 atomic percent, and the sum of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb and at least one element selected from group of Cr, Mo and W is required to be 7-75 atomic percent for the formation of the amorphous structure by sputtering.
- A portion of Cr, Mo, W, Nb and Ta in the Al-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Ti and Zr for amorphous alloy formation, but at least 7 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Mo, W, Nb and Ta should be contained for the formation of the protective scale in sulfidizing atmospheres.
- For the formation of the amorphous structure of Cr alloys by sputtering, the alloys consisting of Cr and at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb are required to consist of 25-70 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Ta and Nb. A portion of Nb and Ta in the Cr-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Ti and Zr for amorphous alloy formation, but at least 25 atomic percent of at least one element selected from the group of Nb and Ta should be contained for the formation of the protective scale in sulfidizing atmospheres. A portion of Cr in Cr-refractory metal alloys can be substituted with Mo and W for the formation of the amorphous structure, and the addition of Mo and/or W improves the sulfidation resistance. However, Cr is necessary for oxidation resistance and hence when Cr is substituted with at least one element selected from the group of Mo and W, at least 30 atomic percent of Cr must be contained unless Al is added.
- Fe, Co, Ni and Cu can be substituted for refractory metals. However, excess additions of these elements decreases sulfidation resistance and hence at least one element selected from this group must be at most 20 atomic percent.
- Preparation of the alloys of the present invention is carried out by sputter deposition method. Sputtering is performed by using a sintered or alloyed crystalline target of multiple phases whose average composition is the same as the amorphous alloy to be prepared. Sputtering is also performed by using a target consisting of a metal sheet of one of constituents in the amorphous alloy to be prepared and other metal constituents placed on the metal sheet.
- In the present invention, it is difficult to form alloy targets of aluminum and/or chromium with refractory metals, and hence targets consisting of an Al or Cr disc on which various alloying elements are placed are used. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 can be used. In order to avoid local compositional heterogeneity of sputtered alloys, it is desirable to carry out revolution of the
substrate disc 2 around a central axis 1 of the sputteringchamber 6 in addition to revolution of the substrate disc itself around thecentral axis 7 of the substrate disc. The orbit of the substrate disc is just above the center of thetarget 3. - In order to change widely the composition of the amorphous alloy formed, the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 can be used. For instance, if an Al disc is used as a
target 4, a Mo-placed Al disc is used as atarget 5. These two targets are installed obliquely in thesputtering chamber 6, in such a way that the intersection of the normals to the centers of these two targets is on the orbit of the center of thesubstrate disc 2 revolving around a central axis 1 of the sputteringchamber 6 in addition to revolving the substrate disc itself around thecentral axis 7 of the substrate disc. When these two targets are independently operated by two independent power sources, amorphous Al-Mo alloys are formed whose compositions are dependent upon the relative powers of two targets. In this manner when different various combinations of two targets are used, different amorphous alloys are formed. - The invention is now illustrated by the following examples:
- The target consisted of 4 Mo discs of 20 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thickness placed symmetrically on an Al disc of 100 mm diameter and 6 mm thickness so as to place the center of Mo discs on a concentric circle of 58 mm diameter on the surface of the Al disc. The sputtering apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. Substrates were a stainless steel and two quartz sheets which were revolved around the central axis of the sputtering chamber during revolution of the substrates themselves around the center of the substrates. Sputtering was carried out at a power of 640 watts under purified Ar stream of 5 ml/min at a vacuum of 1 x 10⁻³Torr.
- X-ray diffraction of the sputter deposit thus prepared revealed the formation of an amorphous alloy. Electron probe microanalysis showed that the amorphous alloy consisted of Al-34at%Mo alloy.
- When the alloy was exposed to air at 750 °C, the parabolic rate constant for oxidation was 3 x 10⁻¹⁵g²cm⁻⁴s⁻¹. When the alloy was exposed to sulfur vapor at 10⁻²Torr at 950 °C, the parabolic rate constant for sulfidation was 1 x 10⁻¹¹ g²cm⁻⁴s⁻¹.
- Consequently the amorphous alloy has extremely high resistance against hot corrosion.

- Consequently the amorphous alloy has extremely high resistance against hot corrosion.
- The target consisted of 3 Ta discs of 20 mm diameter and 1.5 mm thickness and 3 Si pieces of 15mm x 15mm both of which were placed symmetrically on an Al-15at%Si alloy disc of 100 mm diameter and 6 mm thickness so as to place the center of Ta discs and Si pieces on a concentric circle of 58 mm diameter on the surface of the Al-15at%Si alloy disc.
